Re: balancing
Good info, thanks Dietmar!
I also balanced on the car back in the "old days". I recall you mentioning the extra spindle and drum once before. Good idea.
I always used the stick on's with tape. I'll have to get the bang on type for future use.

Re: Board ANNOUNCEMENT ! and DONATIONS ...
Hi Dietmar,
I figure that is the case. With ApexSpeed being so big it's where people tend to go for internet info. Nice place, but as far as technical FV info it's not even close, as we all know.

Re: Board ANNOUNCEMENT ! and DONATIONS ...
Thanks for the reminder, Steve.
I hope new people in FV are finding their way here as there is a huge amount of technical information unlike anything else I have seen, for any class.

Sad situation when the most participated class historically and still near the top is shuffled into oblivion.
